Oatmeal Bake

Served warm the combined flavors from the coconut oil and molasses makes for a happy mouth and comforted belly, or you can eat {the leftovers} straight from the fridge cold making for an almost cake-like consistency. Also, this bake is easily halved, which is how I usually make it (in a large pie dish).

To Soak:

6C dry oats

2C water

1/3C yogurt/whey/kefir

1C soft/melted coconut oil

Next Morning:

1T cinnamon

2tsp baking soda

1tsp salt

2tsp vanilla

8 eggs

1/2C molasses (1/3 C if using black strap, as it is so strong)

1/2C raisins (optional)

Additional Toppings:

shredded coconut (optional)

brown sugar (optional)

additional yogurt or milk (optional)

honey (optional)

Combine all "to soak" ingredients in glass bowl and leave on counter, covered, overnight or for 24 hours

The next morning, pre-heat oven to 350

Grease 9x13 pan

Add all "next morning" ingredients to the soaked oats and scoop into prepared pan (optional: sprinkle top with shredded coconut and/or brown sugar)

Bake for 30-35 min

Serve warm or cold (optional: top with additional yogurt or milk and/or drizzle honey on top)
